April Xcelerate Climate Action: Please email your State Representative and State Senator letting them know that we need to see more from Xcel Energy in order to put Colorado on the path to 100% renewable energy by 2040! Be sure to mention that you are an Xcel customer and share more about why you want to see Xcel moving more swiftly away from fossil fuels. More info here. 

STOP LINE 3! A Canadian Energy Company called Enbridge is currently clear cutting forests and draining entire wetlands to build a pipeline – Line 3 – through Dakota, Anishinaabe, and other Nation’s Territories between Alberta, Canada and Superior, Wisconsin. Line 3 threatens millions of people’s water supply and devastates wetlands and other ecosystems that local Indigenous Nations rely on for their food, livelihoods, and cultures. The emissions from this pipeline are equivalent to 50 new coal power plants. The movement to STOP LINE 3 needs all of our support.
